<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 405430, member: 11521&quot;]Use a tripod or a copy stand. Any movement of the camera will cause your images to be blurred. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Use one light source - preferrably one or two incandescent lamps. Block off the windows so you don&#039;t have sunlight (a second source of light) coming in. Turn off other lights (again, a second source of light) in the room.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Experiment with light diffusion materials. (Vellum is great.) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you camera allows it adjust your camera to the light source you are using (e.g., incandescent, tungsten, etc.).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Use a background like a grey card and adjust your camera (if it allows it) to the background. This will help you get a proper exposure. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Make sure your camera is in focus. Use a high f-stop (e.g., f/22) for greater depth of field. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Use a cable release or timer instead of pressing the shutter release button manually to reduce camera movement. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Buy a good book for other tips. A new book that was released a week ago is <i>Numismatic Photography</i> by Mark Goodman.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
